Craig was very professional and had all the right equipment. He really brought my wedding dreams together and the day wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was without him. He was happy to be there and even grabbed some awesome pictures of us and our venue. He was great at directing the reception and did amazing at the music for the ceremony. He truly cared to make our day perfect and he succeeded. He kept everyone dancing. We were blessed to have him apart of our day!

Thank you Claudia, you were amazing to work with!!
We had a wonderful experience working with Craig. He truly listened & understood what we wanted. He is the epitome of professionalism & quality, and he helped to make my daughter's wedding the most beautiful day! I highly recommend Craig & Showtime Productions for any event & will certainly use his services again.
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2023
I so appreciate how nice it was to work with you and your family!
Craig was amazing! We had a great experience with Showtime Productions. He was very responsive throughout this process as well as Angie who assisted with the photo booth. I could not say more positive things about working with Craig. We highly recommend Showtime Productions.
Any questions?
Craig was so great the entire day! He arrived early to the venue and even stayed a little over the allotted timeframe, just so I could have a couple more dances. He had mics and speakers set up throughout the whole venue for both indoor and outdoor music for both the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I could tell how much experience he had just by how entertaining he was the whole night. He had all my guests laughing and on the dance floor. Top tier MC skills! He even drove to the venue a bit outside his location radius without question. Hands down the best price for a great wedding DJ/MC. His music selections and transitions were spot on -- couldn't have asked for better on my wedding day!

Thank you so much for everything!!!
I can't say enough positive things about Showtime Productions DJ. If you're looking for a DJ, Craig is the one you need to hire. He was spot on the whole night. We were so impressed that he listened to the ceremony to find out more information about my husband and I. He then used that information to get the crowd going with our favorite college football teams! AMAZING!!! He also supplied uplighting and ceremony sound. We added the photo booth. So glad we did! The guest loved it! Angie was at the booth all night. They had photo strips personalized for us and passed them out to each guest. We also received a photo album with each photo session & our guest writing well wishes next to the photos! Wow just wow!!! Thank you Craig & Angie for making our day turn out absolutely perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 10/16/2023
We really appreciate all the kind words!
This was hands down the best decision that I could have made for our wedding day. Craig was AMAZING. He made sure that the wedding ran so smoothly. My husband and I had to plan our wedding from overseas and Craig worked with us the entire time. He made sure to contact us and get to know us since we were unable to meet in person. Craig knew I had missed a few minor details and made sure to point them out before they became something major. He got EVERYONE on the dance floor. Including family members that I have never seen dance at a wedding before. The next day, everyone kept talking about how amazing the DJ was and how professional he was. He included all of the songs that were requested from our guests and was able to match songs to our genre. I promise you, Craig will NOT let you down! Don't even give it a second thought. I never write reviews, but this man deserves the shout outs!

You guys were absolutely amazing to work with and I had the most fun getting to know you and your family and guests!
5 STARS!! Highly recommend! Showtime Productions was so easy to work with from the beginning of the process to the day of. Craig made us feel at ease during the reception and was attentive to our requests and the vibe of music we wanted. The music at our wedding reception evening was magical!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2023
You and your family were AMAZING to work with!!!
Craig (and photo booth partner Angie) were a great addition to my vendor team. Craig had all the equipment necessary for not only the reception dance party, but to mic up the ceremony and provide processional music as well. Friendly, determined to perform through rain (blowing in sideways!) or shine, and surprised us with an extra special private slow song at the end, because he knew I worked for Disney. Wonderful man, grateful to have had him as part of our day.
Response from the Vendor on 05/08/2023
Thank you so much for the kind words, you guys were a pleasure to work with!
Craig kept our dance floor hopping! He was able to help us do a mash up for our first dance. Angie made a great photo booth host. Great couple to help make your day special!
Craig provided flawless, exceptional service. He was easy to communicate with- highly responsive, with reasonable costs and easily accessible. He was attentive to the couples’ songs requests and guided them on what they needed to provide so he could be sure to satisfy them during their wedding. He was professional, attentive and helped energize the guests. Worked perfectly with the venue manager & planner. Highly recommend. Also flexible with payment options and even took some awesome candid photos as he was close to head table!
Thanks, Craig!
Craig and his wife, Angie were absolutely fabulous! They were professional and so kind. Craig had the dance floor packed the entire time and played a lot of songs we had wanted played and others that were just crowd pleasers. Angie did a great job helping with the photo booth. We also received a book filled with photo booth pictures taken throughout the night with notes from our guest which was a really nice. They were amazing and we were so happy we booked them for our wedding day! Thank you both so very much!
Response from the Vendor on 06/07/2022
We had an absolute blast at your wedding!!!!
My husband and I recently enjoyed our wedding this May and we had the pleasure of having Craig and Angie there for our big day! Craig went out of his way to ensure changes in our timing the day of did not affect the flow of the reception. His sense of humor and professionalism are a cut above the rest. He really kept the party going non-stop and our guests were dancing all night! Angie ensured guests were having fun at the photo booth and even put together an album for us with everyone’s printouts, it was such a wonderful surprise! We couldn’t have imagined the night going any better and we have these two to thank for that!
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2022
As I told you that night at the end, your guests were amazing, and you guys were so easy to work with!
Excellent wedding DJ and announcer services! Captured the essence of our event perfectly and played songs that were hits with a wide crowd, as requested. We gave a list of specific songs but then left the rest up to Craig & he absolutely nailed it!
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2022
Thank you so much Courtney, you guys were a blast to work with!
I can’t say enough about how great Craig and Angie were at my daughter’s May 21st wedding at Warehouse 18 in Hickory.
In my opinion the DJ is key to a smooth event and they did not disappoint.
When we got behind schedule because of photography taking longer Craig made some suggestions and everything went smoothly and the guest were non the wiser. Everyone got out and danced and we had many compliments on the DJ.
I also booked the photo booth as an afterthought. I am SO glad we did. Angie was great and our guests had a blast with all the fun props. Not only did each guest get a photo strip but she put a copy in a beautiful scrapbook that people could sign. We had so much fun going thru the book the next day.
Thank you again Craig and Angie for an unforgettable event!
Response from the Vendor on 05/27/2022
As I told you the other night, you and your family and guests were such a joy to work with! Thank you so much for all the kind words!!
Of all the vendors we booked for our wedding, our DJ selection was the most important to us. Picking someone who will attend to the small and big details of the day, play your must have songs while also keeping the vibe of the reception, and be flexible and work synonymously with the other wedding vendors seemed impossible, but then there was Craig. He exceeded our expectations as our wedding DJ and trust me when I say our expectations were high. Craig allowed us to have unlimited consultations to go over the wedding day and any and all details and made us feel more than confident in his ability to bring our wedding day to life. Song transitions during the ceremony and reception were seamless, but what impressed me the most was his way of handling the flow of the day with ease. Our wedding timeline was delayed from the beginning, but no one would have ever known because Craig kept everything moving as if it was meant to be. My husband and I as well as our wedding guests felt like Craig was part of the family (although the wedding day was our first time meeting him) and we could not have been happier with his attention to detail, engagement with us and our wedding guests, excitement and care he brought to the ceremony and reception, and the overall experience working with him from start to finish. You won’t be disappointed with his work and he will make any event better and more memorable.

Wow...just wow!
You words overwhelmed me...thank you for your kindness!
Craig was such a pleasure to have at our daughter's wedding reception. The music was perfect and Craig was so professional, approachable and available with any concerns or requests we had. We had guests of all ages and they raved how great the music was and the older folks were especially pleased it wasn't so loud they couldn't hear each other. We all danced the night away and it was a perfectly gorgeous day and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Craig and his company are a must if you are looking for the perfect DJ!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2021
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your family's wedding, it was an honor working with such a great family!
Searching for a DJ was not an easy task during a pandemic. Throughout the process we came across many different DJs but we knew as soon as we came across Showtime Productions that we had found the perfect one for our wedding. DJ Craig took our ideas and made them a reality. The website is easy to navigate, correspondence was prompt, and everything was professionally done. We couldn't have asked for a more experienced and trustworthy DJ. The custom lighting, photobooth, announcements, and song selections were perfect for our day. We highly recommend Showtime Productions!

Brittany, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding!!!
Craig with Showtime Productions is everything and more in a DJ that you are looking for! He is absolutely amazing in every aspect you can imagine. He made my wedding night the night of my life! If you're looking for a DJ for any type of event, look no further, Craig is the person you'll want to make your night memorable!
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2021
Thank you so much for all the kind words, I really appreciate what you said!
Finding a DJ was one of the vendors I was most worried about hiring, but once I found Craig it was an obvious decision, and he continued to make my life easy from that point on. Craig is quick to respond, flexible and kind, so he makes coordinating with him a dream. Beyond that, he has years of experience and was able to immediately put any DJ-related worries I had to the side. I could not say more positive things about working with Craig at Showtime Productions. Thanks for helping make our day the best ever!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2021
Erin, thank you so much for choosing me as your DJ, you guys were phenomenal!!!
Craig Grimmett is phenomenal!!! If you are looking for a DJ,
LOOK NO FURTHER! Craig is so professional, has the best personality and does a fantastic job! Also if you are clueless about the music no worries Craig has you covered.
He is hands down the best DJ ever and keeps everyone on the dance floor! Can't wait until we are at another event with Craig.
And THANK YOU again for making our kids wedding the absolute best! Everyone so enjoyed themselves and everyone kept telling us what a great DJ you were.
It was an incredible night!

Lisa, thank you so so much for all the kind words, it was a pleasure working with you guys!!!
Throughout the entire time of planning for our wedding Craig was very professional and approachable. Every time we sent an email he responded within 24 hours, regardless of what else he may had going on at the same time . Our guests enjoyed his service. We will definitely be looking into booking Craig again for any future functions.
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2021
Jason, thank you so much for all you did to make my job easy!
We were extremely happy with Showtime Productions! Finding a DJ, like all wedding venders, was stressful because there are just so many to choose from and narrow down. Showtime Productions caught my eye right off the bat due to their glowing reviews. Every review mentioned how working with Craig was a pleasure and how he really liked to get to know the couple before hand so he could be a more personalized DJ. That was definitely the case! My parents and I met with Craig before the wedding (fiancé was out of the state) and chatted for several hours about music, the vibe we wanted for the wedding, etc. We had a blast getting to know Craig and left that meeting feeling like we were in good hands with Showtime Productions. And we were. Day of wedding with Craig as the DJ was absolutely perfect and couldn't think of one negative thing. Highly recommend working him!
Response from the Vendor on 09/15/2021
Thank you so much for the kind words, your family was amazing to work with!
Showtime productions did an awesome job for my wedding @ the Moser barn. Great Music and entertainment. I have zero complaints. Hire showtime productions you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again!
Response from the Vendor on 09/15/2021
I had a great time with your guests that night, they were so much fun to be around!
Craig was awesome and so much fun as a DJ! He was super easy to work with, very responsive and fun to talk with! He took everything we requested and brought it to a whole new level. It was a late night of line dancing and sing alongs that had everyone on their feet. All my guests keep saying how much they enjoyed themselves and how they have never danced so much at a wedding. THANK YOU Craig for making it a night to never forget!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2021
Cat, your guests were super fun!
I recently worked with Craig for a wedding in downtown Raleigh and he was SO MUCH FUN! Not only was he very professional and responsive throughout the planning process but he kept the energy up all night and the guests had a blast. Craig finds the perfect balance between funny and sentimental for his announcements and fit the crowd perfectly. 10/10 would recommend. - Tara Ruffier, Certified Wedding Planner Premier Party Planners
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2021
You guys were completely awesome to work with!!!
Craig was absolutely amazing. He mixed some of our favorite songs with ones we didn't even know we wanted to hear! Everyone was out on the dance floor, and truly it was incredible. I was so happy with the DJ services, the personality, and spirit that was brought to our special day. I would absolutely recommend times 1,000!
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2021
Thank you Allie and congrats on your big news!!
Showtime Productions did an amazing job DJing our wedding! Craig was one of the best vendors we worked with and helped make the whole process seamless. With the stress that comes with planning a wedding, it was so nice to not have to worry about the music! He brought such an amazing attitude and was a huge help getting the crowd to the dance floor! Any request we had, he delivered! Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 06/03/2021
Kelly, thank you so much for the wonderful review and the opportunity to work with your family again!!
I’m not even kidding when I say that I could not have picked a better DJ than Craig. He not only nailed the playlist, while completely understanding my style, but he was charismatic and wonderful to have at the wedding, as an Emcee. It was so fantastic meeting with Craig the first time and we knew he’d be a great fit from the start. Thanks Craig so very much!
Showtime productions provided a wonderful experience for all! Having a large French contingency, showtime took the time to research popular French music to incorporate with popular music enjoyed in the USA making a fun, memorable day for all in attendance!! Great job Showtime!!! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2020
I really enjoyed a totally different wedding experience at your reception. You guys were wonderful to work with!
Craig was amazing! Getting married, there are a lot of details that can be overwhelming so I think as a bride, we just give up at some point. During the time it was very difficult to keep all these details and choices we spoke about with only having met one time, Craig always had everything on point and was very organized. At the wedding he was very professional and loved his theme with the different lights and monograms. Would recommend him to anyone and everyone! He also really got the party started and always had a smile on his face.
P.S. My husband also wanted to add that Craig was great with his introductions and when he made special requests to Craig, Craig was patient and kind.
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2020
Thank you so very much for what you wrote, it really means a lot!
Craig did an exceptional job DJing our wedding reception. He coordinated with us prior to our wedding to ensure the evening would be executed perfectly. We provided song suggestions and he took it from there. Not to mention, he created a “mash up” for my husband’s mother-son dance. Would highly recommend Craig and wouldn’t hesitate to call him for other events in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 03/29/2020
Thank you do much for all the kind words!
We partnered with Craig to DJ our wedding and couldn't have asked for a better individual to work with! He is top notch from start to finish. A genuine, kind professional who ensures the music is just right to have fun throughout the evening! I would highly recommend Craig to anyone searching for the perfect DJ! Thank you, Craig!

You guys were great to work with, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review!
Finding a great DJ was important to us but we were on a budget. We didn't need anything crazy, we wanted someone that was great to work with and got the crowd dancing.
My husband and I got on the phone with Craig and instantly connected with him. He was so easy to speak with and we spoke like he was a family friend; that was all we needed so we booked him. Craig was great through the entire process. He was objective and provided guidance until he got the feel of what we wanted at the wedding. His expertise and advice was beyond useful! We only had to meet up with him once to really talk through the main questions. He was also more than willing to hop on a quick phone call as well which was beyond useful.
The best thing about Craig was that he played one of our favorite songs to bring my husband and I together for a slow dance. We told him in passing we liked the song but were shocked when we found out he was the one who planned it for us. We also received so many compliments about him from our guests. The guests had music during dinner but it wasn't loud. And everyone that spoke with him said how genuine and professional he was. HANDS DOWN BOOK HIM! Thank you Craig for making our day so special!

Kathy, thank you so much for everything you said in the review. It is so gratifying to know that couples appreciate the work that goes into a reception/wedding. You guys were such a great couple to work with!!
Craig was a great DJ. We couldn't have asked for better. The intros, the music, helping us give direction to our guests. It was all excellent.
Also, get the photobooth that his wife does. This was such a hit at our wedding. Everyone loved it, and it was great to see not only the young folks and kids have fun with it but our older guests really enjoyed it too. And she made us a book with all the photo booth pictures in it which people wrote in. It is now the best guest book we could have hoped for.
Response from the Vendor on 05/20/2019
Thank you both for being so easy to work with, we really enjoyed the entire evening!
Thank you Craig with Showtime Productions for a great wedding reception. Not only were your DJ skills above and beyond, you did an awesome job keeping things moving in regards to the meal, toasts, etc. without anyone feeling rushed. Thank you for your professionalism and for your DJ guidance. We highly recommend Showtime Productions!
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2019
Thank you again for all the kind words and for the way you and your family worked with me!
We had a great experience with Showtime Productions! Craig was easy to work with, professional, and he captured our taste of music and the environment we wanted for our wedding perfectly. Sometimes DJs can talk too much, be cheesy, or over the top, but Craig was a great emcee and kept the music flowing from ceremony to reception. Our guests had a blast and almost everyone got out on the dance floor that night! My husband and I highly recommend Showtime Productions!
Response from the Vendor on 02/15/2019
You guys were wonderful to work with and you made my job so easy that night. Thanks again for letting me share in your special day!
Showtime Productions was everything I could of wanted in a DJ! We got married in early November and He kept the party going until the very end! He played all of our songs according to what we gave him and everything went perfectly! Booking Showtime would be an amazing choice for any occasion!
Craig is a wonderful DJ and even more wonderful human being! He was an easy choice for our wedding after a coworker had used him and we kept hearing rave reviews!! He was great to work with in planning details and even asked some questions that helped me think of things I hadn’t before! Craig came to our rehearsal which was a huge blessing as we were able to time things out well when there. On the day of, he was an incredible addition. We gave him a few requests for what not to play but otherwise let him pick and he did a great job! We got several compliments and several people even said they wished he had been the DJ at their wedding!
Craig was professional but also fun and kept the party going. He worked really well with not only our wedding party but also with our other vendors. If I could give him 10 stars, I would!!!! He was truly one of our favorite parts of the day. While I came into this day with confidence in a vendor, I feel like I came out with a friend in Craig!
Response from the Vendor on 12/03/2018
Keli, thank you so much for this AMAZING review. I am truly humbled by everything you said!
I highly recommend Craig to DJ your wedding! We met Craig when he DJ’ed my best friend’s wedding NYE 2016 just shortly after getting engaged and knew right away that we would hire him to DJ my own wedding. He is such a professional and is able to act as the MC for your event with little instruction. It was important to me that a DJ is able to read the room to get a feel for what guests want to hear and what will get people up and dancing and Craig nails it every time. The dance floor at our wedding was packed and everyone had a blast! Craig is prompt, professional, and extremely organized in all he does.
Response from the Vendor on 11/12/2018
Bri, you guys were so much fun to work with, thank you both for letting me be a part of your wedding!!
Craig did an incredible job at our wedding at the Angus Barn! It was an easy decision as to who we should chose for our DJ after hearing all the raving reviews from my brother's wedding. Our reception was so fun and Craig kept the dance floor lively the whole night. His setup was very nice and he even included the light fixture with our initials on the ground! He was super accommodating and ensured that all requests were played. We are so happy that we chose him to be our DJ and will highly recommend him to all friends and family in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2018
Molly, you and Luke had such a fun crowd at your reception, it made my job so easy...Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!
My parents and I also had a difficult time finding a DJ. Many we met with didn't seem to want to do what we had asked them to do. After meeting with Craig , we felt confident that we made the right choice. Craig was not only compliant with our wishes to keep it clean, he played all of the music we asked him to. I would highly recommend Craig for any event or wedding! Thanks Craig!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2018
Daphne, you and your family were such a pleasure to work with, it felt as if I were hanging out with family the entire time!
Craig helped make our big day a HUGE success. He was entertaining yet professional. He showed up early and spent time setting up to make our reception venue even nicer than I thought it could be. He was worth every dime. Even with last minute changes he was able to keep our whole reception running smoothly and worked well with my venue to make my day perfect. I would highly recommend using Craig for your DJ services. You won't regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Lindsey, thank you both for being so easy to work with and I am so happy that despite the hurricane, everything worked out great. Best of luck to you both!!
I wish I could give 6 stars.
Craig was AMAZING. He is such a nice guy and so easy to work with, I knew as soon as we met with him that he was going to be perfect for us.
His attention to detail was impeccable--he told me he was going to be at the rehearsal to play the music as we rehearsed-I've been in several weddings and I don't think I've ever seen the DJ show up to the rehearsal so I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed that he told me he would be there, I didn't even have to ask!! I gave him a TON of details-from all of our main songs, exact timing, how long I wanted my song played that I walked down the aisle to, and a huge list of songs we did and DID NOT want to hear at the reception. I was a little nervous about the details just because it was a ton of details sent in a bunch of different emails. HE NAILED IT. He played everything we wanted, he played lots of songs by bands we told him we liked, and he kept the party going well until it was time for our exit. He was an excellent MC and did everything when and how I asked. THANK YOU Craig!! Your work is fantastic and we are so glad we chose you for our big day!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2018
Rachel, your review was completely AWESOME. It means so much to me to know that each bride gets what they pay for but your words blew me away. Thank you so much for taking the time to write the review!
DJ Craig was FABULOUS to work with! My husband and I got married on 8/10/18 at Castle McCulloch. My husband, Mike, researched DJs and found Craig to be very reasonably priced compared to others that offered the same services.
Craig gave us the freedom to choose what music we would like but he gave us a direction on what we needed to play. He also did our ceremony music. He gave me great advice for my processional so I would be approaching the Hillside Terrace during a particular part of the song. It was perfect.
For the reception, Craig did an awesome job reading the crowd to keep the party flowing. After our initial meeting with Craig (which we loved hearing his wedding stories!), we communicated our set lists through email. He had all of our song wishes and played them appropriately throughout our wedding and reception. He never pressured or rushed us. We appreciate everything he did to make our day so special and fun!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2018
Abby and Mike, you guys were so easy to work with, it felt as if we had known each other for years. Thank you both for the kind words and the opportunity to work with you on your wedding day!
Craig was absolutely FANTASTIC! He was very responsive to emails, and was very flexible in terms of music selection (i.e if you want to give him a spreadsheet of the songs you want, or if you want to leave the general songs up to Craig). He was very professional and did a great job with running the ceremony, the toasts and special dances, and the open dancing. Our dance floor was packed the entire reception, which is exactly what we wanted! The package with the DJ and the photo booth was incredible, so I highly recommend both services! Overall, Craig was a great DJ, and we highly recommend him for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 09/04/2018
Caroline and David, Angie and I both appreciate everything said and we really enjoyed your guests. You were both wonderful to work with!
Craig was so professional, courteous, and just did an all around spectacular job for us on our wedding day. He met with us prior to the big day to go through everything, which was super helpful! Thank you!!

Adrianne, thank you both for the opportunity to work with you on your big wedding day!!!
Craig was amazing! He's a true professional and you aren’t just getting a DJ, he works with everyone else to make sure the whole reception runs smoothly and helped coordinate and time everything to run perfectly. He did a great job DJing for both our wedding reception and ceremony! He also meets with you a couple times before the wedding and takes all of your requests very seriously. It was everything we asked for and more! Great value, super nice guy, and like I said we were so impressed with his all-around professionalism. Seriously, you want to book this DJ!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/02/2018
Julia, thank you so much for all the kind words. I loved being apart of your wedding day!!
Craig was amazing from the beginning!! He is responsive, listens, and is easy-going to talk & plan with! He came to our rehearsal to help coordinate how things would run, the logistics of his set up, and which songs would be perfect for certain moments - it made for a smooth wedding day & we really appreciated him being there!! On the wedding day, he was prepared, professional, fun, funny, interactive with guests and the crowd, friendly to all, and i could go on and on! Our venue had multiple areas of entertainment and he had the perfect set up for all areas without hiccups. The songs kept the guests dancing all night long and his jokes over the microphone were hilarious! The monogram light on the dance floor was awesome and so was his whole DJ booth set up/table/& lights! We looooved Craig & couldn’t say more positive things about our experience with him!!! He is amazing and we would recommend to everyone!!!

What an amazing review, I am humbled by your words. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of your wedding!
We couldn’t have been blessed with a better DJ for the wedding. Craig was able to keep the party going all night and encouraged everyone to dance and have fun! We loved working with him and will be recommending him to future brides!

Halee, thank you both for being so great to work with and allowing me to work with Mary again. You guys were wonderful!
I am so glad that Showtime Productions was available for our wedding. He did a fantastic job our guest are still talking how enjoyable our wedding was. Thank you for your help in making our day wondering.
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2018
I enjoyed hanging out with your guests!!
I hired Craig to DJ our wedding and his wife Angie to run the photo booth. It was a great decision and really good value. They traveled to the mountains to do our wedding with no extra fees. We just got them a hotel for a couple nights. Him and Angie were very responsive to my inquiries. Everything went so well at the wedding and Craig kept the reception timeline going without me having to worry about it. All the guests had an awesome time and the photobooth was a huge hit. We love our photo reel guest book so much more than a traditional one. Highly recommend them.

Amber, we could not have asked for a better couple to work with and we appreciate all the kind words you wrote. Thank you again!!
We had the best experience working with Craig and Showtime Productions ! Planning a destination wedding has its challenges but Craig made things easy! From start to finish he perfected the sound and music for our wedding. Most important he accommodated our beach wedding with perfect sound so our 90 year old grandparents could hear everything perfectly! We are forever thankful for this! Thank you Craig for making our wedding effortlessly perfect !

Thank you Melissa for everything you just wrote, I really appreciate reviews such as this one!!
Craig was awesome to work with. He assisted with our ceremony needs as well as our rehearsal. Everything was perfect! We gave him a short list of songs we wanted to hear but pretty much left most of the music selection up to him and he did a great job. He chose songs that everyone liked (regardless of age) and was very interactive with the crowd. Our guests loved him and have asked for his contact info for their own celebrations. We would definitely recommend DJ Craig.

Jordyn, that was one great wedding and your guests were so much fun. Who would not love to hang at that house on the lake all the time. Thanks for everything!!!!
Craig is truly amazing at what he does! From the minute I booked with him everything was a breeze, he will be THE EASIEST vendor to work with. As far as the music we never stopped dancing (even as the bride) the wedding was an absolute blast and the music was perfect. Everyone was talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. I originally wanted a band but am SO HAPPY that I booked with Craig. He knows the flow of the wedding and there was NOT ONE FLAW in the entire night. From ceremony to last song he killed it. Thank you so much Craig 💗

Thank you so much Kate for everything you said, I must admit, you did have a dancing crowd from the very first song to the end!!!
Craig was amazing, professional, always available. Adding his wife Angie for the photo booth was a no brainer and was a real hit at our wedding. You would be dumb not to book these guys, as they made the entire experience flawless. Your party is in the right hands! Thank you both for everything you did.

Thank you Sandra, Angie and I loved working with you and your family!!
Craig was the PERFECT wedding DJ and seriously was so helpful! He was so helpful during the wedding rehearsal and getting our large wedding party to stand in the correct spots, walk at the right pace, etc. He had everyone out on the dance floor at our wedding and we still have our friends and family raving about how much fun they had! Craig did a great job at keeping the crowd informed about various events during the wedding to keep things moving along smoothly (ex: dismissing tables for dinner, bouquet toss, last call for drinks, newly wed exit, etc.) I would recommend Craig to everyone to hire him as their wedding DJ. Craig made our wedding day so special and was so kind and helpful. He is a wonderful person and an awesome DJ! Thank you so so much Craig for being so helpful and for making our wedding day so perfect! Thank you!!!

Thank you both so much for being so easy to work with, I really appreciate that!!
Craig and his wife were fantastically accommodating throughout the entire process for my April 2017 wedding. Craig was friendly and so excited to drive to Wilmington as he wasn't local to the area. He didn't ask for much in the way of travel/hotel fees either. He listened to all of our music requests. We used him for the ceremony music and reception music, and it all flowed so smoothly. His DJ booth set-up was very professional and formal. The music was the perfectly loud volume, but not too loud to hear yourself talk. The only call-out I had was that he is a talker, and talked us and our guests through the cha-cha slide, and as a result we were unable to dance to the regular song. However, if you don't want that much talking I am SURE he will be accommodating. Also, he does mix some of the music, which works really well most of the time, but be clear if you have a preference to hear some specific songs straight out. Again, he would be very accommodating! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. He did an awesome job.
We used his uplighting as well, which looked AWESOME, and the personalized monogram light which looked great against the wall.
Finally, we used his wife's photobooth as well, which was one of the best I have seen. The lighting in the photos was top notch, and the touch screen technology was outstanding. She even made the background of the printed photos look JUST like our wedding stationary! Also, I had no idea she was going to create a guestbook where our guests could write messages to us beside their photos! She even let us choose the backdrop screen in advance. Finally, they also surprised us by sending a flash drive of all of the photos from the photobooth which was super fun to look through and upload to Facebook.
Overall, Craig and his wife are a GREAT choice for a good price. We are so glad we had them as part of our wedding. I would choose them again and again. Highly recommended!!

Thank you so much for the great review, we both really enjoyed working with you guys and we loved your venue. Sorry about the confusion of me talking the guests thru the Cha Cha Slide, there were several guests that informed me they didn't real...
ly know the dance so I was trying to help them out....They did a great job !
Craig did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding! Most of our guests (and my husband and I) do not like dancing, but Craig found a way to keep the dance floor full the entire night! We were told over and over again how much fun our wedding was and Craig played a huge role in making it so fun. We got so many compliments on our uplighting and music throughout the night and even after the wedding night. He did a GREAT job blending all the music and keeping the party going. At the end of the night, Craig surprised Andrew and I twice and we could not have been more pleased. He got everyone on the dance floor and gave Andrew and I a chance to dance together at the end of the night. It was such a special memory and one that I couldn't have planned if I tried! He also played some of our school songs (our wedding was basically UNC themed, so we LOVED it) and everyone was belting out and enjoying those last few moments of the night. I could not recommend Craig more. He far surpassed our expectations. His services far exceeded his pricing and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible DJ that will keep everyone on the dance floor. Thank you Craig for making our special night even more special! Choose Craig and he WILL NOT disappoint!!

Wow, I just read your review....I should review your review writing skills!!!
Thank you so so much for everything that you wrote, it literally blew me away. I have to tell you, some nights driving home late after a long day I sometimes question...
how much longer that I want to do this, then I read a review like the one that you wrote and I quickly put those thoughts to rest. I am getting ready to start my 24th year and it's people like you that keep me going...thanks again!!!
DJ Craig was very easy to work with! Played all the music I requested, and kept the flow going. Also provided a lot of extra perks, such as uplighting. Great service that was very affordable.
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2017
Chelsea, you and Mark were wonderful to work with and I appreciate the kind words!!
This is an highly recommended Dj! If you want someone who can fulfill all your music needs, this is the Dj for you. He played for our wedding, and I keep getting comments on how his music choices fit perfectly to my type of crowd. He made it easy. Thank you again Craig, you’re the best!
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2017
Thank you Hope, it was a pleasure working with you and TJ!!
I have to admit, finding a dj was not a top priority of mine due to having NO idea what to even look for in one. We came across Craig early in our search and even after a couple emails knew we wanted to book him. He is so genuine and kind...you can definitely tell he puts forth the time and effort into every Wedding/event he’s worked. He gave song suggestions and walked us through how our wedding would play out and together we had a timeline of what would happen when which helped more than I could’ve imagined. You can tell he loves what he does, it really shows in his work. He went above and beyond with the music and even got some photos and videos during that our photographer missed! I would 110% recommend him to anyone, my husband and I couldn’t imagine having had anyone else as our dj!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2017
Samantha, I really do appreciate everything you said in the review. There are things that I remember about every wedding I do but the thing that will always stick out about your reception was you asking for a hug when the night was over, that w...
ill stick with me forever, thanks again for everything!!
Craig was an amazing DJ! He kept our party going all night long. I was so worried about getting our guests up and dancing but Craig re-assured me many times that would not be a problem. And he was right! They were dancing the whole night! If you want a reliable, professional, awesome DJ then Craig is the right guy for you! He even took pictures during the reception and posted them for me to view so I could re-live the night before I got my photo gallery from my photographer! Craig is awesome!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2017
Thank you Liz for your wonderful review, your crowd was fantastic and Mr & Mrs Wuf added so much to the reception!
Craig did a fantastic job at our wedding! We got married at a beautiful venue in Andrews, NC, which is on the Western side of North Carolina. Craig came in on Friday afternoon and allowed us to use his equipment for karaoke that night which was a huge blessing! On Saturday, our timeline was a little thrown off because of weather and speeches, but Craig made sure to play for as long as he could, and then some!! He kept the crowd going and even end with an epic 9 minute finale song even after our finale song had already been played. He’s a great guy who truly loves what he does! We would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 11/07/2017
Kristen, I can't say enough how much I enjoyed working with you and Allan,you guys were great and your crowd was amazing. Thanks for a great Saturday night and a great review!!
Craig was absolutely phenomenal! He met with my mother and law and me a couple months before the wedding and gave us a tremendous amount of information since we were doing all of the planning ourselves. He was always there throughout the planning process to answer any questions we had and always responded immediately. He did our ceremony and reception music, both of which were absolutely perfect! He’s so personable as well. We highly recommend him!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2017
Madison, thank you so much for everything you said and I really enjoyed working with you and your family. I loved the venue as it was my first time doing a wedding there.
Craig was amazing!! He made sure everything was perfect for the ceremony and reception! He even stepped in as wedding coordinator! I highly recommend him for any event! He truly made my wedding a fairytale from the perfect music to the perfect lighting and so much more!
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2017
Thank you Kalyn for everything you said. Your crowd was small and intimate but they were a ton of fun!!
Craig made our wedding even better than we could have imagined!!! We met with him a few weeks before the wedding to go over our timeline and I instantly knew we had picked the perfect DJ. He lifted so many of my pre-wedding jitters and even went along with some of my "crazy bride requests" that I had. He came to our rehearsal to see our venue (he had never been before) and to make sure our music timing was perfect for entrances and such. Wedding day-we had to use our backup wedding plan due to rain and he was ON THE BALL with keeping our guests updated on last minute changes and comfortable waiting for start of the ceremony. Our dance floor was always popping because he played the PERFECT play list. I felt like he was part of our family by the end of the night. We HIGHLY recommend Craig for any DJ needs. 5 stars is just not enough for what he really deserves. Thank you Craig for making our wedding day so amazing!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2017
Amy, thank you so very much for what you said in the review. Saying that I appreciate your review is a understatement!!
Craig was amazing and really kept the party going at our reception. He was easy to work with and showed up with plenty of time to get everything set up for the ceremony and reception. He really helped keep everything on schedule throughout the night. Set up looks nice and he was able to play any song that was requested. I would highly recommend Craig for a wedding or special event. Thank you for helping make our wedding perfect!

Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2017
Kate, I really enjoyed working with you and Zack and I loved your venue. Thanks for the very nice words!!
We really did enjoy Craig overall; however, there were some things we noticed. Up to the wedding the only time I would hear from him was when I would contact him first via email. I had to basically ask for forms to fill out regarding music, event info, etc. During the reception, my father went around and told people working for the wedding (photographer, venue staff, etc.) to enjoy some of the reception food. DJ would do nothing unless the the people who were paying him (not my father) approved of it; but, that made my father feel uncomfortable and me as well. We gave some artist suggestions on music, but he managed to play our least favorite songs of those aritsts (or at least the songs that weren't songs you can dance to). We also thought he would know to play the hits, not the lesser known songs of those artists. No one was unhappy, but if I were to go back I'd try to communicate what I wanted differently or choose a different DJ. He is a very reasonable price, though. I give him that.
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2017
I appreciate you taking the time to write a review on my services, but waiting to express your feelings months after your wedding helps neither your situation that day nor your vendor’s business going forward. I personally would have rather kno...
wn that night than finding out over three months later that there were issues that could have easily been taken care of.
99% of the brides that book me make the initial contact and I respond accordingly. I give them time to start coming up with choices & decisions and when they are ready they reach out to me and I respond back to them quickly and we go from there. Your initial contact to me was in January and from that first email to the day of your wedding, you contacted me via email 9 times. In all but one of those emails, I responded back to you the same day. In May you asked if I needed anything and since you hadn’t provided me with information at that point I sent you a “reception planner” that can be found on my web site. I sent this to you May 8thand I received it back 26 days later. The following day I sent you an “outline” based on the information that you provided me and asked that you look it over and make any changes and you sent it back to me completed 8 days later.
During the reception your father came up to me and told me to make sure to eat. The only thing that I remember telling him was “thank you for the meal and that I would get something once all guests had gotten their food. I’m not sure what transpired to make both your father and yourself feel uncomfortable. As far as music goes, I try to stick with lists that are provided to me by the bride. In fairness it’s impossible for me to have known what were and were not your favorite songs by each artists. Most brides provide me with a list of songs they like vs giving me artists and telling me to choose.
You stated that I would “Not do anything unless the people that were paying me approved of it”. The ONLY conversation that I had with the “people” that paid me went as follows. When your father in law got there he asked if I were the DJ, handed me an envelope and said this is for you. About 15 minutes later, a woman, (your mother in law), asked if her husband had paid me yet. I told her that he had paid me, at which she asked to see the envelope. She proceeded to count the money, remove part of the money and then handed me the envelope and said “my husband paid you too much”, handed the envelope back to me and then turned and walked away. That was literally the ONLY things they said to me all night , which leads me to where I think the wires got crossed…there was a guest that came up to me four times and asked me to play music that I felt would have not worked for your reception. It didn’t fall into a genre that you had listed so I politely told him that I didn’t think it would work. The last time he came up to me I told him that I really needed to stick with the list that I had because the list was provided to me by the people that were paying me. Maybe this guy told somebody and it might have gotten back to your father who then conveyed it to you.
I know going into every event that there will be a day where somebody isn’t happy, or completely happy and that they might convey that in a review and again I would like to thank you for using me at your reception and for writing the review.
Craig was absolutely AMAZING! W had so many compliments on his song choice and his overall MC'ing. Craig was professional (and dressed snazzy!). As a HUGE added bonus, we felt he was the easiest vendor to work with - self-sufficient, honest, and absolutely no hidden fees. We would recommend him over and over!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2017
Guys, what an amazing thing to write, because of the people you are, I would expect no less from either of you. Thank you again!
Craig was an awesome DJ and we are so glad we chose him for our wedding. We met with Craig about a month before the wedding, at this time we were struggling to figure out the best timeline and plan for the ceremony and reception. By the time we left the meeting, Craig had help us plan the entire timeline for the wedding. Craig even came to the rehearsal the day before to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day of, he arrived hours before to set everything up. During the reception, he kept the guests up and on the dance floor all night long. Everyone had a great time. And he took quite a few pictures. Which as you know, it can take awhile to get your wedding pictures back, so this was a really nice touch!

Tiffany, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your and Evan's big day. You guys were so easy to work with and your guests were wonderful. Thank you for such a nice review, I really appreciate you taking the time!
Craig was absolutely amazing to work with! He was so incredibly personable and took so much stress away from our wedding planning process! He put so much time in learning about us as a couple and interacting with our guests. Not only were all of our request met, our expectations were exceeded! There is truly no other DJ like him and if you're looking for someone to make your wedding everything you dreamed of go with Showtime Productions!
Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2017
Thank you so very much for everything that you wrote, it means so much to know that you guys were satisfied with everything!!
Craig was a pleasure to work with through every process. Of all the vendors he was the most accommodating and really helped give our wedding a personal touch. Almost every song we heard was from our Spotify library and the mood was always set just right by the music. Not only did Craig exceed our expectations, he did it for less than anybody else in the area we got a quote from! The uplighting really helped pull everything together and we got so many compliments and inquiries about our personal monogram. If we had to get married all over again, Craig would be the first vendor we called.

Thank you both for all the kind words, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to write this review!
Craig was fantastic! Very well organized, and knew to ask questions we hadn't even thought of. He let us know exactly what he needed to make the day work, and everything went smoothly because of this. I highly recommend him to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2017
Laura thank you both for choosing me as your DJ. I am so happy that we just finished up that night before the big rain started!!
Craig and Angie were a DREAM to work with!! Y'all are amazing. You helped make our wedding day truly a dream come true! You are very accommodating to all of our requests & really do know how to get the people up and dancing all night long! You did a great job mixing the greek music and the other music so perfectly! (As well as pronouncing names, great job!) Plus, you knew how to cater to everybody in the crowd. You have a very nice set-up as well. We loved that you were willing to meet with us however many times to make sure everything was organized...that was very helpful.
I HIGHLY recommend going with both Craig as DJ & Angie's photobooth. We had the BEST time going through all of the pictures taken and the guest book idea is one we will look back and laugh on for the rest of our lives! All of our guests loved the photobooth and the props! Angie was very accommodating as well with requests for props for her photobooth! She really has a lot of awesome options!
I highly recommend Showtime Productions to anyone! Thank you both so much again!!!!!

We both really enjoyed working with you and your family and we both loved the great venue you had the reception at!!
Craig and Angie, were a dream to work with! They were able to come to our venue the day before to make sure they knew the lay of the land and to meet us and see how we wanted things! He did a great job setting up all the equipment and was playing the music that we wanted to hear! We had a great group of friends and family on the dance floor. The photo booth is a MUST if you are looking for a fun activity for your guests to take part in! Everyone had a great time and the amount of props was astounding! Angie did such a great job taking care of printing out the pictures and making sure everyone got a copy! We LOVE our guest book with all the wonderful pictures!!
